Fullwood denies Boys maiden Super2 pole

Series leader Bryce Fullwood has denied Jordan Boys a maiden Armor All Pole Position in Qualifying for Race 1 of Round 6 of Dunlop Super2 at Sandown.

Boys moved back to the head of the field in the final minute of the quarter-hour session but Fullwood then reset the practice/qualifying lap record for the second day in a row with a 1:08.1697s in the #16 MW Motorsport Nissan Altima.

The result is nevertheless a first front row start for Boys, in the #49 Image Racing VF Commodore, who is the odd man out among five Pirtek Enduro Cup co-drivers in the top six.

Fullwood sat second at that point, ahead of Ash Walsh (#35 Matt Stone Racing VF Commodore) and Thomas Randle (#5 Tickford FGX Falcon), the latter of whom had run off at Turn 1 either side of his early hot laps.

Randle was the first to have a real crack at a second run but, perhaps due to the overcast conditions, needed two laps to warm up his tyres despite Super2 running on the super soft compound this weekend.

The Tickford driver went quicker on consecutive laps as he moved to a 1:08.6269s which had him into second position again, before Will Brown jumped from eighth to first with a 1:08.5929s in the #38 Eggleston Motorsport VF Commodore.

Brown ran wide at Turn 1 at the start of his next lap and promptly pitted, while Randle also went no quicker.
